Common Questions

How do I invest?

There are 3 simple steps to investing:
1. Browse and Conduct Due Diligence - Review the offering materials, including the real estate investment presentation and investment documents.
2. Invest – If you see a deal you like and want to make an investment, you can move to a secure investment area by clicking on the “Invest Now” button then simply fill in the amount and other investment information.
3. Benefit - Fund the investment by wire transfer or send in a check.

How do I fund my investment?

After you have filled in your investment amount and gone through the electronic documents, you will be provided funding information. To fund an investment you will be provided with wire transfer instructions or you can send us a check for the amount of your subscription. The investment amount will go into the deal bank account. Once the closing is complete, CityVest will send you a notification via email that we have closed and you will receive the fully executed documents.

What are the risks of this investment?

Your investment involves substantial risk including risks to the value of the property at the time of its liquidation.

What is the structure of my investment?

You are typically investing in shares or membership interests in a limited liability company established by CityVest. In turn, that LLC owns (directly or indirectly), along with the sponsor and other investors, a share of a joint venture entity that owns a specific investment property, like a specific apartment building. An LLC gives you liability protection, shielding your personal assets from the investment. Please find more detailed investment information and risk disclosure in the investment memorandum, presentation or operating agreement for your investment. Potential investors are strongly urged to read the complete set of closing documents in its entirety prior to investing.

What is the target return of my investment?

The typical investment will seek to achieve a 10% to 25% rate of return over the life of the investment. This return may include an annual interest or other distribution from the investment, and sometimes this payment may include a preferred return structure. In addition you may get a payment of profits after the property is sold.

How / when do I receive my distributions?

After an investment is made to acquire a property or in a real estate investment fund but prior to the sale or realization of the investment, your investment may earn a quarterly, semi-annual or annual distribution at the rate of 6% to 10% per annum of the investment amount. Some development and value add real estate investments may initially provide a lower annual distribution. Some real estate private equity funds may delay providing any distribution until after the first or second year of making the investment. An investor’s share of any distributions is generally transferred directly into the same bank account that was initially used by the investor for the contribution of the original investment amount, and typically occurs soon after CityVest's receipt of such distributions. Please review the expected distribution schedule for each investment before making an investment. No distributions are guaranteed.
